Larry,
�
Attached are pdf�s
with cover pages that have text boxes in the Accept/Reject boxes and
Disposition area. �They won�t help you disposition them, but should help you
document the dispositions.� I did note that the certifications (2 involved for
3 items) do meet A36 chemistry, but do not have any mechanical info and do not
state compliance with A36.
�
Thanks,
�
Frank

Frank,�

PPPL
PL#
PE007970-W line items 5,6, and 7.
�
Seems
that 1/8" A36 material is not easy to come by which is likely why are
suppliers didn't supply it in the first case.� Attached are Non-conformance
requests for line items 5, 6 and 7.� These are the jobs which require the 1/8"
A36 material.� Each attachment includes the VPC rejection report, drawing and
the most information that I am able to get out of our supplier concerning the
material.� I have project on hold until your
disposition.
�
NOTE:�
In writing my reports up, I believe that there is a typo on your Puchase Order
# PE007970-W line item 5.� I believe the drawing should read 185-311-01 not
the 186 that it currently reads.

Dave,
�
Yes we
are in agreement.
For
Items 1, 2, 3, & 6, we are awaiting certifications when Vulcan receives
the material.
For
Item #4, the NCR is accepted.� It is being annotated and will be forwarded
shortly.
For
Item #5, you are correct. Thanks for pointing out the footnote. �That
certification is acceptable.
�
Thanks,

�
Hello all -� I have put together a
summary so that all parties will be on the same page.� The following issues
need to be resolved concerning material certs.� Frank, would you look at item
number 5 below and get back with me please.
1.� SE185-311-01 &
SE185-311-03 -� Our original material certs did not contain the material
standard information, chemical data or physical data (J Steelberg Supply Heat
# K0626).� Sufficient data is un-obtainable from our vendor.� Vulcan Products
is replacing this material, thus obtaining a valid certification that can be
presented to PPPL.�
2.� SE85-311-02 - Our original
material certs did not contain the material standard information, chemical
data or physical data (J Steelberg Supply Heat # 20706700).� Sufficient data
is un-obtainable from our vendor. Vulcan Products is replacing this material,
thus obtaining a valid certification that can be presented to
PPPL.
3.� SE184-051-01 - The 3-1/2"
round bar (ASI Heat # 805547) purchased for this job has been rejected here.�
The material supplied from our vendor was certified to an ASTM A576
specification, not the A36 callout on our purchase order.� Vulcan Products is
replacing this material, thus obtaining a valid certification that can be
presented to PPPL.�
4.� SE185-316-01 -� I have sent an
NCR (VPC Rejection Report # 1157) for non-conforming material on 05-01-08.�
The W8 x 58# beam (Nucor-Yamato Steel Heat # 292193) is A572 GR50, not A36.� I
am waiting for a response from PPPL here.
5.� 1" material - (Nucor Heat#
7107615-6) -� There was a question about an elongation value being under the
minimum accepted value.� In reading ASTM A36/A 33M-05, table 3 shows the
minimum elongation values.� In looking at footnote E, that states "For plates
wider than 24 in. [600 mm], the elongation requirement is reduced two
percentage points."� Using this statement, wouldn't the 18.5% reported on the
certification be within specification?�
6.� SE184-051-01 -� 1-3/4"
Threaded Rod -� I am still waiting for material to come in with
certifications.
The decision to replace material
for items 1-3 was based on the fact that Vulcan Products can maintain our due
dates.�
Frank, if you have different
information than what I have presented, lets work to get that
resolved.
